Stop Export of Zimbabwe's Baby Elephants

target: S. Kasukuwere, Minister of Environment, Water and Climate, and Walter Mzembi, Minister of Tourism

According to news reports, 34 baby elephants, some as young as two years old, have been taken from their families for export into a life of captivity.

News reports are sketchy, it may be that this capture and export is entirely legal, but the government can still stop it.

Elephants have deep family bonds — this loss will be devastating to the elephants left behind and the captured young have a poor chance of survival.

The Zimbabwe government has the power to choose a more humane fate for these helpless elephants. Urge Zimbabwe's Ministers for Environment and Tourism to stop the export and return these elephants to the wild.
